305 E 140th St APT 3C, Bronx, NY 10454

Welcome home to your spectacular 1,250 square foot loft, set in the heart of Mott Haven in the South Bronx. This beautiful home features 100 year-old original maple floors, 10-foot ceilings, exposed brick walls and exposed wooden beams. The loft is flooded by natural light that pours in through seven windows with northern and eastern exposures. Enjoy abundant space and feel comfortable while also being able to work from home. This loft is ideal for a live/work buyer, or for anyone that loves a creative space and wants to spread out. The unit has significantly low utility bills. Solar panels housed on the building's roof help to negate the electrical bills for all the unit owners (for this unit, a $30 electric bill is average). Common charges are $693 and heat is included. A J-51 tax abatement is in effect for the next seven years ($510 property tax paid in 2018). This loft offers spacious living, with room for a sleeping area, living area, work area, and dining area. The open kitchen features quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a dishwasher. There is ample room for a washer/dryer to be installed as well. Unlike most loft apartments, this unit has plenty of closet space, and if you want more privacy--building a wall to create a closed off bedroom couldn't be easier. This loft is the only available unit of the 11 coveted condos in the Bronx Bricks, which is a former sewing factory converted in 2008. The building is equipped with a large elevator, free laundry, and a deeded 673 cubic feet storage unit in the basement. Free bike storage is also available. Additionally, the building features a fantastic art gallery on the ground floor, Bronx Art Space. It is truly almost impossible to find a residential loft such as this anymore in NYC. The building's proximity to transportation is fantastic and a Manhattan-commuter's dream: 25 minutes to Grand Central via the 4 and 5 express trains at 138th Street/Grand Concourse; the 6 local train is 2 short blocks away at 138th Street in front of the 40th precinct station house. The number 2 express train is located at 149th Street and Third Avenue. For commuters heading north and into Westchester County and Connecticut, or simply heading out of The City, the Metro North station hub at 125th Street is one train stop away or a taxi can also get you to the Yankees-E.153rd Street Metro North stop in 5 minutes. The Mott Haven branch of the New York Public Library is just a few doors down. Alexander Avenue, which was nicknamed as "Bedford 2.0", is just at the end of the block, with rows of highly coveted brownstones. Mott Haven has recently exploded with new development, investor interest, and renovation along the Harlem River. Over 3,000 luxury rental units are coming online in the next 5 years. Historic townhouses are selling very fast. New restaurants, bars, art galleries, and coffee shops are opening every month. This is truly an exciting time to be in the South Bronx. Buyers should schedule private appointments. There is a minimal "open house" schedule.
